惠灵顿动物园的长颈鹿栖息地首次扩建

Share:

惠灵顿动物园正在为其不断壮大的长颈鹿家族建造一座更大的家园。这是长颈鹿围栏自2006年建成以来的首次扩建。该项目于上周开始,预计将在两周内完成。

新空间是为了满足长颈鹿家族不断增长的需求而建造的,长颈鹿家族包括一个名叫尼亚的四个月大的婴儿、她的父母以及周日将满20岁的曾姑姑扎哈拉。惠灵顿动物园的克里斯·杰拉姆说,扩建将为动物护理团队提供更多空间来管理日益复杂和充满活力的牛群。

动物园已花费约40万美元进行小规模改进,包括扩大院子空间和建造长颈鹿训练器。杰拉姆指出,动物栖息地通常每10年需要升级一次,而目前的长颈鹿栖息地已经有将近20年的历史了。

为体重超过一吨、身高超过五米的动物建造家园是一项艰巨的任务。设计需要考虑长颈鹿的大小,需要更大的钢结构、大门和其他元素。

动物园还必须确保长颈鹿在施工期间能够继续在空间中生活。杰拉姆把它比作在房子里还住着的时候翻新一半的房子。

动物园在2019年迎来了一只名叫桑尼的雄性长颈鹿,动物园管理员阿什利·维尼科姆强调了为他提供足够空间的重要性。她还指出,长颈鹿享受着舒适的生活,例如室内空间和取暖器。

长颈鹿——妮娅、桑尼、祖里和扎哈拉——预计将在本月底搬进新家。该项目的资金主要来自酒吧慈善机构,还有惠灵顿市议会的额外支持。
